hot water heater

Hi, I was draining my hot water heater on my 2016 Freedom Elite 22e and pulled out the plug to drain the water and thought everything was fine. Then I saw posts saying that some RVs have anode rods attached to the plug. Well, mine didn't seem to have one. I'm a second owner of this rig and...

We are winterizing our new (to us) 2006 Jayco Jay. For the life of me, I can't figure out how to bypass the hot water tank so as not to fill it with antifreeze. Can anyone see, in these photos, if there is indeed a bypass valve? The lines leave the tank and run under the sink/fridge and pop out...

Asking for a friend.* 1998 American Cruiser.* Hot water tank needs T&P valve. I've only worked on newer (than this) RVs.* Ones that have an aluminum hot water tank.* It appears that this one is steel (iron).* The T&P* valve appears to*be pretty*well fused/rusted/galvanized etc. to the tank...

As I was cleaning out the RV after my last trip, I noticed that the area around the hot water heater was damp. I felt down there and didn't feel water, just dampness in the area. Any clue what might be the problem?

Hi, I'm new, so please bare with me. JayFlight, 2014. Can someone show me a picture of your hot water heat from inside the trailer panel? I'm not sure about the position of the valves and how they should be to use the hot water heater. I'm also not sure of the steps to take when you first turn...

Hi Everyone, I have a 2017 Jayco Octane super lite toy hauler we just got last year. Mostly we’ve done full or partial hookups when camping and everything has been working perfectly, however the last two times we’ve done dry camping we can’t get our water heater to work when the water is...

After searching high and low for the hot water heater bypass for our Passport 267 (under our lower bunk thanks previous posters) we are struggling as to which way to turn the bypass to obtain hot water. Unfortunately the manual has provided limited help. Any suggestions would be great.

Hi all - quick question, and sorry if this has been covered... When sanitizing the fresh water system, I'm good on the ratio and process. What I can't figure out - should I run the solution through the hot water heater as well, or bypass it as if I'm winterizing? I know the bleach is...

Just purchased a 2017 Keystone Outback 240URS. The person prior bought it new and never has used the hot water heater. I am a little scared as he says he did t do anything with it ever bc he never turned it on. I am assuming since I turned on water and no water ran everywhere that it must have...

Hi. We have a new Roadtrek Zion SRT with the Ecotrek system and one of those instant hot water coil heaters. I’ve used this kind of hot water shower in cheap hostels all over Asia and they work efficiently. However the Girard version in my new Roadtrek is erratic. Lots of cold water, eventually...

Hello all, I have an Atwood water heater (G6A-8E) in my 2018 THOR Freedom Elite motorhome. From day 1 it will not stay lit and then eventually just stops lighting. Initially when I flip the LP gas switch it will cycle through the three attempts to light but, now it’s not even doing that...

A friend of ours has a Grand Design. They always were running out of hot water so he installed a dinosaur board on the hot water heater. He says they never run out of hot water now even with his wife taking 15 min showers. Has anyone done this mod to theirs? Trying to see if they really work or...

I am a novice, so I am hoping someone out there can help. On a recent trip, we had to drain out the anti-freeze from winterizing. We opened the valve to then let the water into the hot water tank, and water went in. However, the water never got warm on either electric on gas. I tried to research...

This is for a 2019 369BHS but I imagine there are several similarities on different units. So I was wondering about the hot water operation.. I have an on-off feature on the in-command system. I also have the manual switch out by the hot water heater.. So does the in-command override the switch...

Hi, First time poster; hey everyone! Last season my Suburban water heater worked fine. In case this may be related: At the end of the season the 12V switch to retract my slides would not work. Checked fuses which were fine and used a drill on the pump to manually retract them. Used same...
